HAIR SERIES : in Progress
It’s an amazing time to be a black woman with natural hair. I recently rediscovered these unfinished paintings and decided to complete them. These small 8.75 × 8.75 pieces are a celebration of black hair. My first perm was in my senior year in high school before I left for college. My last perm was 4 years later, during my last year in college. I’ve been a natural sister for 27 years and still loving it. Praise God!! more ladies are beginning to recognize the hair God has given us is AWESOME ! The images show the paintings progressing.

The ribbon cutting ceremony for Ballou High School was 17 December 2014 and faculty and students have transitioned to the new school. Pictured above and below are the murals completed and installed. Top Image: Ballou Pride Mural Bottom Image: Ballou STAY Mural.

Painting again is wonderful !! I started an ongoing series of ink pen drawings on couples in 2013. Image #1 is the sketch, Image #2 is the finished drawing. The idea for the three paintings I’m working on now, Image #4 is an exploration of the drawing. Tentatively these new pieces are called Marriage: Three Views. Image #3 is the work in progress, which was posted on the website last year. I’ve been told marriage is work perhaps those who are married can relate to these pieces. You can see the drawings on the website here.
